Wow, a PRO with a silicone ADBV! Must have a little age on it, but looks good.

French oil in a south korean car & a usa filter to clean up the mess. Other than that it's a real basic looking filter. Great photo's!

Well, it’s not City Star or “bullseye” brand oil gas stations sell

Was this the Long Life Total or just their regular oil from the AA clearance?
I only bought a few jugs of the regular 5w-30, I got more of the 5w-40.

I have seen Total as a recommended oil on some H/K vehicles.
Most have a Quaker State recommendation though.

Judging from the appearance it hasn’t been on there excessively long, good news for the new owner.

Interesting on both points!

This was regular 5w30 TOTAL. Got tons of this and the long life. The 5w40 was harder to find.

Did you get any 10W-60? These stores near me only had 1-2qts each and I didn't want to travel around looking and not end up with enough for a full oil change.

 

[53' Stude]

Got about 12 quarts total

I never even looked since I have nothing to use it in.
Same for the 5w-20 (or was it 0w-20?). No want or need, so did not look.
I know one store had some Xw-20 because I had to move it to find the regular 5w-30.
